1.
Love dismembered, a desperate voice coughed up flowers force fed a failing mind self destructive recluse objectively obtuse I am almost over
2.
Traffic Stop 02:34
Digest in nature you sing in awe of contrast I try so fucking hard to make myself forget I exist I'll eat your laughter exhale the hour glass convulse with panic this love does not exist green light head down swallowed black out
3.
Lips kiss the earth i've never seen your face don't wanna know what you want from me I've found a way out (drowned in my thoughts) no sense in hiding you dance alone to uncover me ignore the fictions of desperate men clouds drip of fantasies of death love only exists for the wounded hand Lips kiss the earth i've never seen your face don't wanna know what you want from me Out of my mind, (out of my thoughts) no sense in drowning you dance alone in spite of me ignore the fictions of desperate men clouds drip of fantasies of death love only exists for the catatonic ignore the fictions of desperate men clouds drip of fantasies of death love only exists for the wounded hand mouth in the fire dig up my voice nothing
4.
Suffer through monotony internally depleting I want to feel like anything erased in every glass each day a mile longer block out all the noise I want to feel like anything erased in every glass I left my body here decay i'll never feel like anything
5.
Suppressed surroundings Can’t recall the texture of your voice In dying light Incessant failure Mask of blood A portrait of the voiceless Swollen lungs Can’t reveal Can’t expose The life inside Dismembered, it’s nails break Call home Distinguish her cankered grin Call home An emptied sketch Colored She’s home
6.
6 weeks to take you from me Flesh bows from your body Your chin’s impression burned into my open chest House of mirrors Hearts bisect into limbs Lifeless absence Please give me all your pain I gave you your body Can’t pretend to swallow Embed in your echo Floating heads drip in water Kneel down to bleach his cancer Can’t sleep without your pulse Buried faces in the walls House of mirrors Peeling bone from flesh Dilute and dread reality Please be well I gave you your body Can’t pretend to swallow Embed in your echo He sighed and succumbed lungs collapsed The life in the walls You exist in my heart Warmth of grey
7.
Fault 02:50
Can’t sleep until it’s quiet Mouth rots, a seeping sinus Collect the bloated children Can’t speak to who is waiting Entwine and dissect eyes No hope of feeling life Bruised cheeks and silent answers Why do I suppress myself? “I don’t know who you are I can’t read, I can’t eat, Im suffocating” All limbs are caked in sulfur Always meant to be a syphon Sell all my teeth for comfort Don’t look at me again Entwine and dissect eyes No hope of feeling life Bruised cheeks and silent answers Just let me Feel it’s weight grow Feel my skin fall off Annoying coffin talk Promises I can’t keep Can’t sleep until it’s quiet Mouth rots, a seeping sinus Collect the bloated children
8.
Collect all of your toys and dispose of me the black light on 16th street always regress always secrets scream but never heard I want you to know your name don't tell anyone I want you to feel the blame it drips along your skin embed and indebt the weeds will grow left out in the sun the dramatic son the one you failed to love the black light on 16th street always regress always secrets scream but never heard I want you to know your name dont tell anyone I want you to feel the blame it drips along your skin embed and indebt the weeds will grow left out in the sun
9.
Parasite 02:54
you were made for sculpture parasite seeping from it's cave you will speak all alone now touch me all alone now fuck me savor the taste aftermath do you feel the same? Awake for days without a sound do you feel the same? You belong to me (can you feel the blame?) you belong to me (can you feel the shame?) do you feel the same?
10.
I was lost but never aroused any suspicision to either of us where we were or where we were going or who we belonged to we were meant to leave these bodies I was the ticking clock I was the bleeding diamond I was your muffled throat I was the calm of cancered tongues I am the burning earth
11.
A nervous fixture her eyes move past structured violence his fingers break awake, unearthed his songs of death reminds us I own you I feel you control you absolve me a painted scripture he never laughs a loving mother pure disdain awake, unearthed his songs of death reminds us I own you I feel you control you absolve me she shares her life all the same wanting to etch her name into flesh all the wounds the wanderlust she hides in plain view scared and alone the needles drag across the floor unwanted dead frail and cold there is no place for you here there is no place for me
